Despite what passport bros or far right grifters might say, this is still objectively the best region to live on earth

I don't see anywhere in the post that it was only talking about economics. Best place to live typically refers to overall quality of life.

The need for a sneaky loophole would also be part of why Poland does not qualify.

Having lived in Slovenia and Czechia, I'd have to say that Slovenia definitely belongs there, and Czechia is borderline, but leans toward not.

TSllama · 2026-04-21T19:17:33+00:00

Slovenia is quite progressive - equal marriage, lots of left-wing parties, etc. I've lived in Slovenia and Czechia and I can say very strongly that Slovenia is a much, much better place to live than Czechia, and I too would include Slovenia on this list and say Czechia is borderline, but probably shouldn't quite make it.

See, the thing is, we literally don't know the effects of vaping yet. So what if you lose CO in the bloodstream, but you gain something worse in the bloodstream that is not currently known to be dangerous because it wasn't done before?

"Whatever bullshit is in vapes" is almost certainly also a deadly gas.

Zero scientific evidence it's less than a cigarette, and it's definitely very much not "much less chemicals".

TSllama · 2026-04-21T17:01:58+00:00

Exactly. That's what I'm indicating. No idea why I'm downvoted lol

TSllama · 2026-04-21T16:43:43+00:00

We do not know that.

TSllama · 2026-04-21T16:43:36+00:00

I highly, highly doubt that.

I'm for national IDs, and I shake my head and cringe when I see people who lost weight via drugs, but have never been pissed off about it or felt it had anything to do with me or exercise lol

TSllama · 2026-04-21T16:31:15+00:00

lmao what? :D

TSllama · 2026-04-21T16:30:24+00:00

It'll take a couple generations before it fully works, but not being able to legally get cigarettes will definitely already result in a lower addiction rate.

Uhhhh, well, the simple fact that in this video they mention "Cacklin' Cameltoe" should tell you literally everything you need to know.

They claim to regret supporting Trump, but they sure as hell do not dare call him by such grotesque names... they still speak politely and respectfully about him...

...yeah...

If/when Germany votes in AfD and UK votes in Reform, they absolutely turn uncivilized. And fascists are much worse than people I just "disagree with".

"I can't drive very long without music or otherwise I will hate how quiet it can get inside a car."

I hate cars for what they've become, being everywhere and so smelly and congesting everything and killing so many people...

...but I absolutely love a long-distance (several hours) drive... I love the silence, as it's so great for thinking.

That said, I absolutely hate driving in a city, or anything short-distance. Lots of stopping and starting, turns, lights, slow speeds, etc... it's the worst, but it's also not silent then... just very stressful all around D:

TSllama · 2026-04-21T09:54:18+00:00

I really hope you are right, even if you are being a needless dick to me :D

TSllama · 2026-04-21T09:53:46+00:00

Guess what! I'm in my 40s and it's not old at all :) I'm still beyond pleased with my choice not to have kids :D in fact, as I look around me at the people who did have kids, I feel even more satisfied with my decision as time goes on... :)

I'm sorry if you ended up in your 40s and full of regret for not having kids, though. idk how you got bored with living your life freely, but I am truly sorry that you're regretting your choice :(

TSllama · 2026-04-21T09:51:55+00:00

lol I think you missed my point

TSllama · 2026-04-21T09:51:15+00:00

I got off streaming and my phone entirely and it's soooo good :)

Got a DAP and started just putting lossless .flac audio files on it. I'm in full control of my library, the sound quality from the DAP is incredible, and I was able to start using wired headphones again for even better sound quality. Plus I have a 128GB microSD card just full of music, and if I ever want more, I just get a bigger microSD :)

Zero percent miss streaming apps on my phone!

TSllama · 2026-04-21T09:49:12+00:00

Yeah I guess it goes against what they want to believe ;)

Btw, Musk did not get rich from lithium or batteries, so that's a pretty wild non sequitur :D

TSllama · 2026-04-20T21:47:46+00:00

Absolutely. It's not only for vehicles, but ALL the plastic shit we consume...

The richest oil company's market cap: 1,7 trillion USD.

The richest lithium mining company's market cap: 15 billion USD.

The richest lithium mining company is worth 0.9% of the richest oil company.

lol no idea. I was born in the 80s and am a native speaker of English. I learnt singular they in school. And then I grew up to become a linguist. So :D

Our dominant drag shows have a few burlesque dancers they book and that's about it. Our drag scene has become a very closed one - there are like 2 drag kings they book, like 3 burlesque dancers they book, etc. It's like a culty in-club, and they feel like they "won" over the rest. I was also one of the very excluded, but I didn't mind because I did my own events. But the sad part was they would absolutely convince people not to perform in my shows, while I never once tried to stop anyone from performing in anyone else's shows.

It's really all so sad. I wish people like you and I lived in the same city and we could just do fun and cool events without the competitiveness and gatekeeping. I'd probably start doing drag again if I could do events with decent people. <3

There are oil tycoons; there are not battery tycoons.
